Release notes

This is a release candidate for the next feature release of Drupal 8. Release candidates are not supported for production sites, but they are intended for widespread testing in preparation for the upcoming stable release. More information on release candidates.

This minor release provides new improvements and functionality without breaking backward compatibility (BC) for public APIs. There may be changes in internal APIs and experimental modules that require updates to contributed and custom modules and themes per Drupal core's backwards compatibility and experimental module policies.

For a full list of other API and feature additions included in the 8.4.0 release candidate compared to 8.3.x, see the 8.4.0-alpha1 and 8.4.0-beta1 release notes.

Drush users: Update to Drush 8.1.12

Known issues

Major version updates for dependencies

Drupal 8.4.0-alpha1 includes major version updates for two dependencies: Symfony 3.2 and jQuery 3. Both updates may introduce backwards compatibility issues for some sites or modules, so test carefully.

Status of the Workflows and Content Moderation modules

The Workflows module is now stable! By itself, Workflows does not provide new functionality for the site builder, but stabilizing Workflows is an important step toward providing content moderation as a part of Drupal core.

The Content Moderation module is still considered experimental and its status for 8.4.0 is still being reviewed.

Settings Tray module renamed and now in beta

The experimental Settings Tray module's machine name has been changed from outside_in to settings_tray to match user-facing labels. If you have Settings Tray installed on your site, you must uninstall it before upgrading to 8.4.0-rc1 to avoid fatal errors. You can simply re-enable it afterward; since the Settings Tray module does not store any data or configuration, this should not affect your site.) Following this rename, Settings Tray is now considered beta stability.
